In my therapy session yesterday, I told my counselor that I had finally decided to let go of a situation that belongs to the past — not only “decided” with my head but also, and foremost, “decided” with my heart.
And their response was, “You seem to be so in sync with the season, with the natural shedding that comes in the fall”. I loved their response! And yes, that’s how it feels to me: a timely shedding, to let go of the old, of what isn’t part of my current life anymore, leaving full room for healing over the winter and renewed blossoming & blooming thereafter.
After my therapy session, I found the official approval of my legal name change from the county courthouse in the mail. Which added another layer of shedding to the picture.
As my counselor suggested, I shall leave room for grieving — I need it. But I will also make space for all these wonderful new aspects of me & my life that are being born, space for them to blossom and bloom, and space for all the lovely people & loving friends (old & new) who are sharing their paths with me.
